Angelina's Not So Little Black Bag

Here's a conundrum. Say you are an international celebrity. Paparazzi hounding your every move, and thousands of moms hauling their sons into hairdressers so their kiddo can have the same signature mohawk sported by your little boy. You have to stay one step ahead of the trends, but that comes easy to you. You are a bit of a free spirit, you go where you want to go and do what you want to do, always looking fantastic, with kids in tow. So now, what kind of a baby bag are you going to carry? Certainly not some flavor of the month mass market affair. Any bag that you carry is going to be special, handcrafted and unique.

Just like Angelina's Jolie's "Suzy" by Hammitt bags.

This is not a bag for the faint of heart or weak of limb. You may require a personal trainer to get yourself into shape for carrying this bag around fully loaded all the time, but then it is so gorgeous, it is worth it. Hammitt's Suzy bags are big. Big enough to hop on a private plane with your three kids, and jet off for the weekend without having to leave behind a single sippy cup or special stuffie. The leather is top notch and the signature brass studs all over say "I am fabulous but I am still humble". It's just too cool to get all blingy and ostentatious.

I can see why Angelina loves this bag. This is the kind of bag you use for decades, and that your kids borrow from you when they head off for college. It will always be cool. And its a practical baby bag too. You could truly take it anywhere, from a five star cruise to the African plains, it's there for you. It is fully lined with waterproof vinyl that color coordinates to the exterior and there is a coordinated vinyl changing mat that comes with. Inside you'll find large slip pockets for wipes, snacks etc, and a zippered compartment for keys and wallet. On the outside you are treated to two flap pockets with magical magnetic closures. They clap shut with such a satisfying clack that it's tempting to just sit and play with them. An excellent toddler airport distraction. And there are two open outside pockets to stash your boarding pass and handwoven Namibian woobies. Aside from the practicality of the bag, there is a quiet classic luxury about it. It's expensive, yes, but its also an investment in quality goods. These bags are never really going to go out of style.

Hammitt bags are made one at a time, handsewn in the USA. Every detail of their construction is a labor of love. Designer Stephenie Hammitt has named her various bags after the women in her life who inspire her. And now inspiring women of the world are carrying her bags. Denise Richards, Courtney Cox and Catherine Zeta Jones have all toted Hammitt bags.
